Sānctus Brendānus , fīlius Finlocha nepōtis Altī , dē genere Eogēnī , stāgnī Lēn regiōnis Mumenensium ortus fuit . Erat vir magnae abstinentiae et in virtūtibus clārus , trium mīlium ferē monachōrum pater . Cum esset in suō certāmine , in locō quī dīcitur Saltus Virtūtum Brendānī , contigit ut quīdam patrum ad illum quōdam vespere vēnisset , nōmine Barrindus , nepōs Neil . Cumque interrogātus esset multīs sermōnibus ā praedictō sānctō patre , coepit lacrimāre et sē prostrāre in terram et diūtius permanēre in ōrātiōne . Sānctus Brendānus ērēxit illum dē terrā et ōsculātus est eum , dīcēns : " Pater , cūr trīstitiam habēmus in adventū tuō ? Nōnne ad cōnsōlātiōnem nostram vēnistī ? Magis laetitiam tū dēbēs frātribus praeparāre . Indicā nōbīs verbum Deī , atque refice animās nostrās dē dīversīs mīrāculīs quae vīdistī in ōceanō . "
Saint
Brendan
,
son
of
Finloch
,
grandson
of
Altus
,
from
the
lineage
of
Eogenius
,
was
born
in
the
region
of
the
Munster
people
near
Lough
Leane
.
He
was
a
man
of
great
abstinence
and
renowned
for
his
virtues
,
being
the
father
of
nearly
three
thousand
monks
.
While
he
was
engaged
in
his
spiritual
exercises
at
a
place
called
Brendan
'
s
Grove
of
Virtues
,
it
happened
that
one
evening
a
certain
elder
named
Barrindus
,
grandson
of
Neill
,
came
to
him
.
When
this
elder
was
questioned
at
length
by
the
aforementioned
holy
father
,
he
began
to
weep
,
prostrating
himself
on
the
ground
and
remaining
in
prayer
for
a
long
time
.
Saint
Brendan
raised
him
up
from
the
ground
and
kissed
him
,
saying
:
"
Father
,
why
do
we
have
sorrow
at
your
coming
?
Have
you
not
come
for
our
consolation
?
Rather
,
you
ought
to
bring
joy
to
the
brothers
.
Tell
us
the
word
of
God
,
and
refresh
our
souls
with
the
diverse
miracles
you
have
seen
in
the
ocean
.
"
